Welcome to issue #2 of my epic new Friday series, “Friday’s Fancies.”
(In case you missed what this was all about, check out my introduction to the blog series post.)
I don’t have much for you this week, but what I do have is UH-MA-ZING.
Like Stan Lee meets female gaming minis meets The Oatmeal meets other stuff UH-MA-ZING.
Also, I’ve decided to create a hashtag for this Friday series on Twitter & G+: #FridaysFancies. Feel free to use it if you share this! Now on to the UH-MA-ZING…
Sometimes the most important lessons you’ll learn about life don’t come from what you should be doing, but what you SHOULDN’T be doing.
As a kid, you probably touched a hot burner and regretted it immediately. Or you stuck a wire hanger in an electrical socket like my little sister did when she was six and got zapped.
You live and you learn, right?
This concept is even more important for you geeks who own small businesses, hope you will someday, or even just shop at these places. The more you pay attention to what you don’t like about the supposedly “best” practices of other companies and businesses, the more you can set yourself apart and gain customer loyalty.
And speaking of learning from other companies, I’ve got your first geek business lesson today, courtesy of Microsoft! Pay attention, because it’s very important:
Don’t do public relations like Microsoft just did.
Do you appreciate (maybe even need) a geeky article or advice to help improve your life?
Are you always on the lookout for that one extra item to add to your collection or cosplay closet?
Do you love discovering those GIFs that make your life that much more awesome every week?
I can help you with that (yep, all of it).
(Wow, there are a lot of h‘s in that title.)
Anyway, I’m going to be honest with you:
I don’t feel like writing anything right now.
This week has been a hectic mix of housework to get the place ready to sell, figuring out some new freelance writing gigs, and laying out some of my career and personal goals in addition to the regular housewife-y chores like making sure the house is stocked with food, organizing times to hang out with friends, and tidying up.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure there was some spring cleaning in there, too.
Because of all this, I just haven’t had the time to invest in writing a proper blog post for you all. So instead, I’m going to leave you with this delightful video from Hannah Hart of My Drunk Kitchen.
I’ll be back next week. 
Tot ziens until then.
Yesterday the Xbox One was revealed. 
Lots of pent-up emotions were also revealed right along with it.
I live tweeted during the event (my first live tweet experience!), and if one person wasn’t exploding in rapturous joy at every single little announcement and demonstration, another was raging about how stupid Microsoft was to integrate a bunch of other forms of entertainment instead of focusing on gaming alone.
Me? I just think people need to calm the frak down.

You guessed it - I'm a geek. And because I'm also a writer, I just couldn't let my love of geek, gaming, Internet, and pop cultures go unwritten. Read more here!
